I drive over the 301 Harry nice bridge and buy my Smokes wine and Gas....Screw Md and OWeMalley...Taxes are their answer to every thing and any thing!
Not only do you pay less taxes, the ones you do pay go to support the more respectful government of a free[r] state. I make the same calculation when driving back and forth between Arizona and California.
It might be different for a state the size of Texas, but when one of the smallest states in the country is raising their taxes from $2.00 (MUCH higher than most states) a pack to $3.00 a pack (2.5 cents short of the highest in the country), I doubt that's going to bring in much money right next to the second lowest tax rates in the country (just above Missouri's $0.17). I'm glad you're avoiding their silly tax.
